We knew you’d see it our way! Now, go throw on some movies that scream, “America!” We have some recommendations:

🗳RIGGED, THE VOTER SUPPRESION PLAYBOOK sheds light on the ways marginalized people are barred for equal participation in our democracy. It’s a strong reminder that the American Dream can only exist if it is accessible to all.
